A Winter First

I woke up this morning and decided to indulge in my favorite Russian breakfast: bliny (crepes) from the little Teremok stand around the corner from my apartment. It was a beautiful day today, which is incredibly rare here, regardless of the time of the year. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. The downside of this was that it was much colder than usual. As I was walking, I noticed that my snot was starting to freeze in (and just below) my nose. I had plans to walk around a little bit today, get out and do something, but snot-freezing weather changed those plans.
